Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 1/15

Got a friend, Lord,
   who's carrying a heavy load,
   her plate's full of cares and concerns,
   aches and pains, troubles and fear...

So, I'm praying, Lord...

   Could you slow things down for her,
      even just a little, in the days ahead?

   Could you fill in the potholes and smooth the bumps
      on the path she's walking?

   Could you make her life a little less complicated
      - and a whole lot simpler?

   Could you gently heal her pain
      and give her peace of mind?

   Could you help her catch a break
      from discouragement and distress?

   Could you take at least a few things off
      her full and overflowing plate?

   Could you let her catch a glimpse of you
      standing by her side?

   Could you give her the time and space she needs
      to take a deep breath, sit back and relax
         and find a little peace?

   Could you relieve her many doubts
      and refresh her faith in you?

   Could you bless her tender, wounded heart
      with healing and compassion?

Got a friend, Lord,
   who's carrying a heavy load,
her plate's full of cares and concerns,
   aches and pains, troubles and fear...

Help her see and take your hand, Lord,
   help her find and know
      your presence and your peace,
      your strength and your healing,
      your mercy and your grace...

Amen.
